EMPLOYER AND CLERK.
The Views of n Prominent New York
Wholes ale Merchant.

The Views of a Prominent New York
Wholesa ale Merchant.
I'm looking bad? Well. l ought
to; I've lost fully twenty-five pounds
within the last nine months through
som thing not usually put under the
head of business cares. Want to
know what it is, ELI! Well. don't
mind telling you. although my state
ment will probably rouse a storm of
indignation, but l assure you that m y
loss of flesh arises from nothing more
or less than worrying over my clerks.
Il heartily appreciate all editorial
comments on the question of dishonesty
among clerks. Every year it becomes
more and more difficult apparently
for some young men to keep within the
paths Of righteousness. At one time !
thought that human nature was con-
stantly growing more depraved. and
now / am firmly convinced that the
opportunities offered to the young men
of the present day for going wrong
infinitely more numerous than formerly
and seem to be almost forced upon
them.
take special case, which recently
came under my immediate observa-
ton. The young MN in question
began to associate with a rather fast
set, who considered gambling legiti-
mate pleasure. HIS refusal to join
the game was taken as tantamount
confession of weakness. and he soon
found himself as lonely as a shin
wrecked sailor upon a desert isle. He
stood it as long as he could and then
returned to the society Of his reckless
companions. What was the result?
In three months. between poker and
race pools, he had lost large amount
Of his employers money, which he
found himself unable to replace at the
moment. and his previously promising
business career has been hopelessly
ruined.
Il agree with you that it is an en-
ployer's duty to keep himself informed
as to his clerk mode of life outside Of
business hours. and have firmly re-
solved that no young man in my en-
plov will 90 wrong for lack of the few
words Of kindly warning which would
have saved to the world many a man
who is now a criminal "-JsaCeters'

Attention TO Triaes.

Ladies' Wear Review: A lady went
into one of the small wear stores in
Boston recently aud purchased bunch
of a certain kind of beads of which the
ordinary price is everywhere five cents.
As she took them she calmly remarked
that she had been all over town after
them, but that everybody was out of
them, although steamer was expected
in with plenty next week. As she
turned 70 go she heard the manager,
who had been standing near by. say to
the clerk:
Mark those beads up to 10 cents till
next week. We may as well take adj
vantage of the market.
1t is said that fortunes are made by
attention to trihes, and surely a man
who could improve an opportunity in
this fashion is sure to either accumulate
wealth or to come to utter ruin by his
clever meanness.
